Aranjuez was the summer residence of the Spanish Royal Family. The quotation from Friedrich Schiller’s drama "Don Carlos" has a double meaning: the summer holidays are over and, simultaneously, the monarchy is threatened by interior struggles for power.
Although global policy plays a very important part in his world view, García y Más is not a political painter in any narrow sense, his paintings focus on the problematic social issues of the day: the point is made by means of alienation, irony & wit, often in a macabre, sardonic manner. The scenario of his canvases is determined by an intensive & radiant use of colour, restricted to few essential figures.
